"What?! The Li family, they defeated the group of bastards of the Miyoshi family?! After hearing the news reported by the three Taifu of Hyakuchi, Oda Nobunaga jumped up directly.
"Yes! After learning that the Miyoshi family had landed in Izumi Province, Maeda and the other three adults immediately set out as an army to fight a field battle with the Miyoshi family, and in this battle, they defeated the Miyoshi family in one fell swoop, and the Miyoshi three people were killed on the spot, capturing at least 15,000 enemy soldiers! The third lady replied, his expression didn't look special, but from his somewhat excited tone, he didn't sound as calm as his expression revealed.
"In Maeda-sama's report, the huge advantage of the standing army over ordinary peasant soldiers was emphasized...... "Hyakuchi Mitaio kept saying, this can be said to be the first time that the Oda family has appeared in a war since the military reform, and the result is very perfect, and it is difficult to describe even perfection. Because it not only tested the combat effectiveness of the standing soldiers, but also affected the entire battle situation, even if he was as calm as the third wife of a hundred places, he couldn't help but get excited.
While listening, the smile on Oda Nobunaga's face became more and more intense, you must know that he was also under a lot of pressure when the standing army was reformed. But now it seems that it was all worth it. "By the way, didn't that kid from the Li family explain his next plans in the report? Or are you obediently waiting for my orders? Oda Nobunaga laughed.
"My lord is wise, Maeda-sama did report their plans." Hearing this, the third wife of Baidi hurriedly said.
"Oh? Let Shigeharu Takenaka help guard the captives, and they plan to go to the aid of Sakuma-sama or Hashiba-sama. Oda Nobunaga groaned after listening to the report of the third husband of Hyakuchi, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled, "If the Li family really ran to support Nobumori, it would really disappoint me~"
Hearing this, the third prince of Hyakuchi looked at Oda Nobunaga a little strangely, but Oda Nobunaga did not explain anything, seeing this, the third prince of Hyakuchi was also interested and did not ask much.
Osaka Castle.
"Huh? News from Kiikoku? Oda Yoshinobu looked at Ning Ning strangely, he couldn't guess that there was anything worth reporting to him on the Kii Country side at this point in time. Because he gave Shigeji Takenaka very great power, ordinary military and political affairs did not need to be reported to him at all.
"Could it be that Shigeji is planning to attack Kyushu?" Oda Yoshinobu thought strangely, but then he dismissed the idea. In his opinion, this is not the time to sneak attack Kyushu at all, even he can see it, let alone Shigeji Takenaka.
These thoughts were only for a moment, and then Ning Ning relieved Oda Yoshinobu's doubts, "My lord, according to Takenaka-sama, Maeda and the other three adults have defeated the Miyoshi family's invasion of Izumi Province's forces, and at the same time almost captured all the enemy troops. Maeda-sama then sent someone to Kii Province in the hope that Takenaka-sama would send troops to help guard the captives, but Takenaka-sama felt that this was the best opportunity to attack Shikoku. ”
"Huh? The Li family, they have already defeated the Miyoshi family?! So fast?! Oda Yoshinobu was shocked again when he heard this, although he didn't think that the Miyoshi family would be able to defeat the Maeda Toshiya family, but how long had it been now? If you deduct the time for messaging, it will be less than half a day, right?
"That's true, but Takenaka-sama's letter only mentions the great advantage of the standing army, and there is no detailed battle report." Ning Ning said in a deep voice.
"Hmm...... Attack Shikoku......" Oda Yoshinobu pondered for a moment, then looked at Ning Ning and said, "Let Hua Mei come and see me." ”
Soon, Li Huamei rushed over, and after understanding the situation, Li Huamei immediately said in a deep voice, "Lord, this matter is feasible!" Although the strategy you formulated at the beginning was to attack Kyushu, judging from the information obtained in the past two days, the Maori family is still very strict about the defense of their own navy, and it is basically impossible to reach Kyushu without alarming the Maori navy. But if Takenaka-sama were to attack Shikoku, it would be different. As long as they have an advantage in Shikoku, the Maori naval army will definitely concentrate a large number of troops to defend the Seto Inland Sea, otherwise, the main family can directly send troops to the country of Yazuki. ”
"Hmm......" Oda Yoshinobu nodded noncommittally, in fact he thought about it. After learning that the Maori Navy had begun martial law in the waters around Maori territory, he knew that what he was thinking seemed to be a little simple. How could one not think of this with the wisdom of the Maori element? You know, there is no shortage of such examples in history.
Although in the Battle of Itsukushima, the distance from which Mori Yuan led the army to reach Itsukushima by boat was only 1.8 kilometers, but although the distance was short, the meaning was the same.
After thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's do it." Well, let Katsuhisa, Yumori and Kang Zheng go over to support, Shigeji's subordinates are basically young people, although their abilities are good, but it's not the time for them to take the lead. In addition, I just exercise Katsuhisa. ”
Well, the Gamo clan and Fujido Takatora are only 15 years old this year, and the Suzuki Shigemasa and Shigekan brothers, although they have experienced a hundred battles, are only mercenaries after all. Saeki Weihai may be okay, but at least for now, Saeki Weihai's ability is only at the level of Nine Ghost Jialong. Although Ito Keihisa is superb in swordsmanship, the battle is not a personal battle, and as for Ina Tadaji and Masuda Nagamori, it is not worth mentioning it.
If you think about it carefully, the only person in the entire Kii Province who can really fight is Shigeharu Takenaka?! Of course, at the beginning, Shigeharu Takenaka was sent to Kii Province just to deal with the matter after taking Kii Province, but now, it is obvious that such a few people are not enough.
Just groaned for a while, Oda Yoshinobu said again, "Well, Shigeji, Yukimori, and Yasumasa, if there are only three of them, will it still be too few?" After all, after taking the power of the Miyoshi family, you have to guard against the attack of the Maori family, and you also have to sneak attack the Kyushu side......" Oda Yoshinobu frowned and said to himself, "Why don't you let Tadakatsu pass?" ”
"My lord, if Honda-sama is also sent to Shikoku, is there too few generals on the lord's side?" Li Huamei said when she heard this.
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu thought about it, and finally sighed helplessly, "It seems that there are still too few powerful retainers...... Okay, if these words are heard by Shibata Katsuie, Hashiba Hideyoshi and others, will they secretly start tying Oda Yoshinobu's wooden dolls? You must know that under their command, there are only one or two who can be generals.
Li Huamei rolled her eyes, obviously very disdainful of Oda Yoshinobu's helplessness, but what Oda Yoshinobu said was not bad, with the current situation, it seems that there is really no one to send. Although Osaka Castle still has Shimazo and Ii Naoto, it is impossible for Oda Yoshinobu to keep only one general by his side.
Just when the two were debating who to send to support, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Lord, my subordinates are willing to go!" As soon as the words fell, Oda Shinna slowly walked in from the outside.
"Uh......" Oda Yoshinobu was stunned when he saw Oda Shinna's figure, and then turned his head to look at Li Huamei, but saw that she shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not tell Oda Shinna about it.
Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu also reacted that he was thinking too much, not to mention that Li Huamei didn't know what he was going to discuss with him before he came, and even if he knew, it was impossible to go and talk to Oda Shinna specifically. After all, in the eyes of women such as Oda Yoshinobu or Li Huamei, although Oda Shinna's ability is not bad, she is still a child after all.
Just when the two were confused, Oda Shinna had already come to them, "My lord, let my subordinates go down and support!" The subordinates have been learning the way of commanding the army with the island adults since they were children, and although they are young, they are confident that they will not lose to those samurai of the Miyoshi family! Oda Shinna said loudly, her tone full of determination. While speaking, he also stared at a pair of beautiful eyes widely, as if to enhance his momentum?
Hearing Oda Shinna's words, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly had a headache, "Shinna, I know that you are very good among your peers, but you are only 15 years old this year after all, and it is too early to go to the battlefield now." Oda Yoshinobu tried to make his tone and words more acceptable to Oda Shinna, because he knew that the character of the girl in front of him was very stubborn, and it was exactly the same as his cheating father.
If Oda Shinna feels that he is underestimating her, hehe, it will be a big trouble. Although Oda Shinna has always been striving to be a great samurai, that doesn't mean she won't use a woman's natural weapon when faced with certain problems.
It's just that in the face of Oda Yoshinobu's seemingly reasonable words, Oda Shinna didn't mean to listen at all, "My lord, you and your father seem to be about the same age as your subordinates when you first fought in the past, right?" And if your subordinates are still young, then why didn't you call your clan and Gao Hu back?! Or do you mean that your words don't count?! ”
Hearing Oda Shinna's words, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly remembered the scene when Oda Shinna was in Motofu, at that time, Oda Shinna decided to become an excellent samurai in order to be able to control his life. At that time, the reason why Oda Shinna chose to become Oda Yoshinobu's retainer was not only because she wanted to get close to Oda Yoshinobu, but also because she felt that here, she would not be protected and could work hard to achieve the results she wanted.
It's just that now it seems...... Oda Shinna was 12 years old, and now it has been three full years, although Oda Yoshinobu has always asked Oda Shinna to deal with the samurai's affairs, but basically, it is all just some simple internal affairs. The only thing that can have anything to do with the military is probably to follow Shimazuo or Suzuki Shigehide and others, as deputies to assist them in training recruits.
Of course, the ability to do internal affairs is also the natural possession of a good samurai, but it is clear that in these troubled times, there is nothing like martial arts to prove the excellence of a samurai. If there has been no chance to play, it obviously represents a certain attitude of Oda Yoshinobu towards Oda Yoshinobu, an attitude that Oda Yoshinobu does not want to tell Shina directly.
Of course, it can't be said that Oda Shinna hasn't been on the battlefield, after all, when he attacked Echizen, he also took her there, but can it be the same at that time as it is now? At that time, Oda Shinna almost stayed by Oda Yoshinobu's side, and there were a large number of Shinigami and ninjas around her, and now, she was going to leave Oda Yoshinobu's protection and go to Shikoku.
Seeing that Oda Yoshinobu began to hesitate, how could Li Huamei not know what her lord was thinking? "Lord, since Shinna has made up his mind, if he doesn't agree, it will be too much of a blow to Shinna's enthusiasm~" Li Huamei said with a chuckle.
Seeing Li Huamei speak, Oda Yoshinobu glanced at her gratefully, well, if there is only Oda Yoshinobu, God knows how long he will hesitate. And obviously, the longer he hesitated, the greater the blow to Oda Shinna. Everyone, including Oda Shinna herself, knows that it is difficult for Oda Yoshinobu to truly accept her, but as long as Oda Yoshinobu does not say it directly, it can at least give Oda Shinna a hope, no matter how small it is, it is enough to support her to continue walking. It sounds a little self-defeating, but there are times when life always seems to need some deception.
"In that case, then I agree." Oda Yoshinobu nodded and said, the moment he said it, he inexplicably felt that the whole person was relaxed, but at the same time, it became more of a headache. There is no doubt that this agreement represents that Oda Shinna is one step closer to her goal, and it also means that Oda Yoshinobu has taken another step back in rejecting Oda Shinna, and this will continue for a long time......
"Well, this is what is called injustice, isn't it?" Oda Yoshinobu thought helplessly, if he had known that he would fall to the point where he is now, he ...... Well, I'm afraid he can't change too much, who made Shina really cute when he was a child? "It seems,In the end, I can only blame me for being too charming......" Uh, this kid Oda Yoshinobu is starting to narcissism again, isn't he still having a headache just now?
Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Oda Shinna's eyes suddenly exuded a mysterious brilliance, and seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu's head began to hurt again. He regretted that he had agreed so quickly, but since he had already agreed, he would not regret it again.
"Mai, you send someone to pick up Kang Zheng, Katsuhisa, and Yuisheng." Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "In addition, call Duan Zang and Ah Guo over as well." ”
A moment later, the five members of Sakakihara Yasumasa rushed over, and Oda Yoshinobu briefly told them about the matter, "Although the three of Miyoshi have been killed in battle, you don't want to fall into my name because of carelessness!" ”
"Please rest assured!" Sakakihara Yasumasa and the others replied in unison.
Nodding, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Kato Danzou and Izumo Akuni again and said, "In addition, the two of you are responsible for protecting Shinna. After speaking, Oda Yoshinobu glared at Oda Shinna, who wanted to say something, and said angrily, "If you still want to go to Kii, then honestly let them protect you!" Otherwise, I'll stay in Ise honestly! ”
Hearing this, Oda Shinna immediately pursed her mouth, but still swallowed what she was going to say into her stomach.
